Proudly CanadianHoogan et Beaufort
Montréal – 2025
A restaurant that pushes its own boundaries
Since 2015, Hoogan et Beaufort has established itself as one of Montréal's premier dining destinations. Nestled in the industrial setting of the Shops Angus, this exceptional restaurant offers auteur cuisine orchestrated by Marc-André Jetté. His approach? A modern and precise cuisine guided by the seasons, where each plate celebrates Québec products with finesse.
Wood-fired cooking and a constant pursuit of balance between flavors and textures have earned the restaurant prestigious recognitions: inclusion in the 2025 Michelin Guide, finalist in Canada's 100 Best Restaurants (2024), and the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence since 2021.
Hoogan et Beaufort 2.0: when excellence meets ambition
A renewed vision, a preserved identity
After 30 years in the industry, Marc-André Jetté and his team chose to evolve their space without compromising what made their success. Hoogan 2.0 retains the unique identity that has captivated guests for nearly a decade, while realizing the restaurant they've always dreamed of: a place that truly reflects who they are and their way of welcoming guests.
This transformation is far more than a simple renovation. It expresses a new vision of hospitality: more human, more sustainable, and focused on the well-being of the entire team.
Doyon Després: designing the space for their ambitions
To bring this ambitious project to life, the Hoogan et Beaufort team entrusted us with the complete fit-out of their new workspace. Our mandate: to create a highly functional kitchen, a high-performance bar, optimized preparation areas, an oversized dishwashing station, and custom cold rooms to support their gastronomic excellence.
Kitchen
The space was doubled to accommodate the precision of a 7-course tasting menu. We designed workstations, counters with integrated sinks, wheeled mobile tables, stainless steel cabinets and shelves, offering total flexibility. Refrigerated counters keep ingredients within reach, the full-size iCombi Pro ensures perfect control of cooking, and retractable Hatco heat lamps guarantee ideal plating and service temperatures.
Bar
A complete and refined station: cocktail unit with integrated sink, glass-fronted ice reserve, and True refrigerator with glass doors, allowing front-of-house staff to deliver fast, fluid, and always impeccable service.
Preparation areas
Everything designed for efficiency: large stainless steel worktables with backsplashes and intermediate shelves, New Air undercounter refrigerators, and service counters equipped with warming bases to maintain rhythm without losing momentum.
Dishwashing
Sized for intense fine-dining service: dish tables and sinks, wall-mounted T&S pre-rinse faucets, and a layout that handles volume without ever slowing the team.
Cold rooms
We supplied and installed complete cold rooms with their refrigeration systems, including an insulated floor in the freezer, as well as 34x78-inch doors for the walk-in cooler and freezer, ensuring optimal preservation and impeccable quality of the fresh products that make up their menu.
This signature project demonstrates our ability to support restaurateurs in their boldest ambitions. Working with such a renowned establishment, which chooses to invest heavily in the comfort and performance of its team, shows that excellence in the kitchen begins with tools worthy of the talent.
Hoogan et Beaufort 2.0 proves that a restaurant can evolve, grow, and reinvent itself while staying true to its essence. And we are proud to have equipped this new chapter in their story.
